The clustering method uses Local Triangular Kernel-based Clustering (LTKC). The cosine coefficient method is used for finding the appropriate cluster while similarity value is calculated using Manhattan distance, Euclidean distance, and Minkowski distance. Results of those methods will be compared to find which method gives the best result. This study uses three test data: malnutrition disease, heart disease, and thyroid disease.

The method for problem-solving in CBR is based on memory, where the past cases saved in case base are the starting point for solving new problems. In many CBR applications, cases are usually represented as two unstructured sets of attribute-value pairs that represents the problem and solution features [1]. A good CBR system depends on the mechanism for finding the similar case (retrieval process) for new problems. The more cases stored in the case base, the time needed to find similar case will be longer because it should calculate similarity value of the new case with all old cases saved in the case base. Therefore, indexing of cases is needed to speed up the retrieval process of finding similar case. Previous studies focusing on indexing on CBR have been conducted before. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) approach is used by [2], and [3] used a fuzzy approach for indexing on CBR. Based on the previous studies that have been conducted until 2015, shows that the indexing process on CBR is still a relevant research topic. Clustering is an exploration technique which capable of extracting knowledge from a set of data by grouping unlabeled data based on similarity and dissimilarity into clusters so that each cluster contains as similar as possible data [4]. The clustering algorithm used in this study is Local Triangular Kernel-based Clustering (LTKC). LTKC is density-based clustering that determines the density of data points using combination of two nonparametric density estimation procedures. LTKC combines k-nearest neighbour (KNN) and kernel density estimation (KDE). KNN density estimation is extended and combined with triangular kernel function. LTKC uses Bayesian decision rule in order to assign objects to respective clusters. LTKC only requires one input parameter, which is the number of nearest neighbours (k) without having to define the number of clusters because the algorithm finds it automatically [5]. The LTKC algorithm is chosen in this study because based on previous research showed that LTKC produced more accurate clustering results (based on some clustering validation methods) and less processing times when compared to DBSCAN and DENCLUE [5]. The method used for finding similarity value between old cases and new cases in this study is nearest neighbour retrieval. This technique compares each feature of target case (new case) with features of source case (old cases) stored in a case base, then the comparison of each feature is calculated by a similarity function. Previous research conducted by [6], [7], [8], and [9] showed that the method was good enough to be used in the CBR system for diagnosis. 2. METHODS 2.1 Knowledge Acquisition This study uses three datasets. Malnutrition disease in infants dataset is acquired from previous research conducted by [8] which contains 90 data. From the dataset, 70 data are used as train data and 20 data are used as test data. The malnutrition dataset is originally obtained from RSUP Dr. Sardjito Yogyakarta. Heart disease dataset is acquired from previous research conducted by [7] which contains 135 data. From the dataset, 115 data are used as train data and 20 data are used as test data. The heart disease dataset is originally obtained from RSUP Dr. Sardjito Yogyakarta. Thyroid disease dataset is provided by Garvan Institute and J. Ross Quinlan, New South Wales Institute, Sydney, Australia. Thyroid disease dataset used in this study contains 1428 data. From the dataset, 1000 data are used as train data and 428 data are used as test data. The thyroid disease dataset can be obtained from UCI Machine Learning Repository.

In a frame model, cases are represented in the form of a collection of features that uniquely identify the case and solution of the case. In heart disease and malnutrition disease in infants cases, each feature of the case - age, gender, symptoms or risk factors - has a weight that indicates the level of influence on the diagnosis of disease suffered by the patient. The weight of each feature is given by an expert. The greater weight indicates the greater influence of the feature in determining or diagnosing the patient's disease. The thyroid disease case has its own data characteristics because there is no weight given by an expert in its features. After clustering process has been performed on all old cases saved in case base, the cases are represented again with new additional information, which is the cluster where the case is located and its relation with center of cluster (centroid). Table 1 shows an example of case representation of malnutrition in infants with cluster information. Table 1 Case representation of malnutrition in infants No Case Data Explanation A Symptoms 1 G011 Wrinkled and baggy skin 2 G016 Whiny 3 G019 Edema 4 G021 Weight loss (thin) B Patient Data 1 Age 23 months C Diagnosis 1 P003 Marasmus-Kwashiorkor D Indexing 1 Cluster Indexing Clustering method used in this study is Local Triangular Kernel-Based Clustering (LTKC). LTKC is used for grouping old cases into clusters by determining similarity and dissimilarity of cases so that each cluster contains as similar as case data. The clustering process groups all cases into their respective clusters and produces the center of cluster (centroid), which is the average value of features for each case in the same cluster. The centroid value will be used as an index for diagnosing new case or problem Data Normalization Data normalization aims to obtain features with smaller values which represent the original data without losing its characteristics. Also, normalization is necessary to avoid an unbalance range on specific features in the case base. Several features will be normalized in this study, especially the feature which has a numeric value. In malnutrition in infants dataset and heart disease dataset, age feature will be normalized. In thyroid disease dataset, there are five features will be normalized, which are age, TSH, T3, TT4, and T4U. The Min-Max Normalization method is used for normalization. The method requires the minimum and maximum value of features. For example, age feature on malnutrition in infants has a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 60 months. Equation (1) is the formula of Min-Max Normalization. (1) Cluster-indexing using LTKC Local Triangular Kernel-Based Clustering (LTKC) For Case Indexing on... (Damar Riyadi)

4 142 ISSN (print): , ISSN (online): The first step of case base indexing process using LTKC method is initialization by defining the value of k nearest-neighbor and maximum iteration. Then, for each data point (case) in the case base, Euclidean distance is calculated using formula (2). After the distance of each data point has been calculated, create a distance table by sorting the distance value from the smallest to the highest. Initialize the number of clusters which is equal with the number of data point. In the iteration step, for each data point in a cluster, find k nearest-neighbor based on distance table created before and put them in as members of the cluster. For each data point, find clusters which contains the data point, then calculate triangular kernel value for each cluster by using formula (3), and finally put the data point into the cluster which has the maximal value of triangular kernel. The maximal value of triangular kernel is obtained using formula (4). Then, re-index the cluster label by deleting clusters with has the same members as another cluster. The iteration step is performed until the cluster structure is unable to change or the iteration has reached the maximum iteration which is defined in the first step. The clusterindexing process results that each data point (case) with its features grouped into respective clusters, the features of a data point is used to calculate the center of cluster (centroid). The center of cluster (centroid) is obtained with an average value of features of each data point within the same cluster. ( ) ( ) (2) ( ( )) (3) ( ( )) (4) Cluster Validation The cluster validation method used in this study is silhouette coefficient. The method is used to validate the quality of a cluster, how appropriate data are grouped into clusters. The silhouette coefficient method is a combination of cohesion and separation method. The silhouette coefficient value of a data point in clusters is calculated using formula (5) [10]. ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ( ) ( )) Where ( ) is the average distance value of data point to another data point within the same cluster, while ( ) is the average distance value of data point to another data point which is located in different cluster. The average value of all ( ) is the value of silhouette coefficient global which is used to validate the clustering result. 2.4 Retrieve and Reuse Process CBR system with clustering-indexing does not necessarily calculate the similarity value of a new case with all cases saved in the case base, but it only calculates the similarity value with cases located in same cluster or group. The retrieval process is divided into two steps. The first step is finding the appropriate cluster by utilizing the center of clusters (centroids) saved in the database. The second step is calculating similarity value of new case with cases within the same cluster. Figure 1 shows a flowchart of the retrieval process. (5) IJCCS Vol. 12, No. 2, July 2018 :

5 IJCCS ISSN (print): , ISSN (online): Figure 1 Flowchart of retrieval process Finding Appropriate Cluster The diagnosis process of a new case in this CBR system begins with finding the appropriate cluster. The appropriate cluster is obtained by calculating similarity value between new case's features or symptoms value with the value of respective features of centroids (center of clusters) save in the database. Cosine coefficient method is used to perform such task as described in formula (6). The method is used because it is suitable for data with small values, also based on previous research conducted by [11] it produced a good accuracy of diagnosis. ( ) Calculation of Similarity Value The calculation of similarity value is performed by comparing each feature of a new case with each feature of all old cases saved in the case base; then the comparison result is calculated using a similarity function. There are two types of similarity: local similarity and global similarity. The local similarity is a feature-level similarity, while global similarity is a case-level similarity. The calculation process of local similarity is divided into two types based on the kind of data, formula (7) [12] is used for numeric data, while formula (8) [12] is used for symbolic data. The methods used for calculation global similarity in this study are Manhattan distance similarity as described on formula (9) [13], Euclidean distance similarity [13], and Minkowski distance similarity [13] as described on formula (10) with the value of r=2 for Euclidean distance and r=3 for Minkowski distance similarity.

The result of retrieval process with the highest similarity value is used as a solution of the new case Retain The new case which has been revised by an expert saved in the case base with consideration of the value of centroid (center of cluster) as a new knowledge (retain). 2.5 System Testing The system testing is performed by applying some new cases; 20 new cases as test data for malnutrition in infants, 20 new cases for heart disease, and also 428 new cases as test data for thyroid disease. The result of diagnosis of CBR system is compared with the result of diagnosis of medical record. This study performs two test scenarios: the first scenario, CBR system compares the accuracy of diagnosis and retrieval time between CBR system without indexing and CBR system with indexing using LTKC. Test data used in this scenario is malnutrition in infants data, heart disease data, and thyroid disease data. The second scenario compares the accuracy of diagnosis between CBR system with LTKC-indexing and CBR system with SOM-indexing and DBSCAN-indexing that has been performed in the previous research [11]. Test data used in this scenario is malnutrition in infants data and heart disease data. 3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1 Clustering Process of The Case Base The LTKC clustering algorithm only requires one parameter which is the value of k nearest-neighbor. But, in order to prevent the clustering process takes too long for specific k value, a maximum value of iteration is applied as an additional parameter. In this study, all possible k values are tested to obtain the optimal k. The optimal k value candidate is obtained by examining silhouette coefficient value of the clustering result. From all tested k value, only the top five will be chosen for further testing by examining its silhouette coefficient value. Then, each candidate will be tested in CBR system to obtain the accuracy of diagnosis on retrieval process of finding similar case. Similarity measure used in the test is Manhattan distance similarity and the lowest threshold value of 0.7 is applied to check whether CBR system can produce the right diagnosis or not. The accuracy of CBR system for each k candidate is compared to find the best k value for CBR system with the highest accuracy of diagnosis. The k value with the highest accuracy and silhouette coefficient value is used as the optimal parameter for LTKC. Table 2 shows the clustering result with its optimal k value.

There are two scenarios performed in the analysis. The first scenario analyzes the accuracy of diagnosis of CBR system without indexing and the second scenario analyzes CBR system with LTKC-indexing. On both scenarios, the process of finding the appropriate cluster utilizes cosine coefficient method, and the similarity value is obtained by using Manhattan distance similarity, Euclidean distance similarity, and Minkowski distance similarity. The test is performed by applying 20 new cases as test data for malnutrition in infants, 20 new cases for heart disease, and 428 new cases for thyroid disease. Table 3, 4, and 5 shows the comparison of system capability for each scenario.

It shows that CBR system with SOM, DBSCAN, and LTKC indexing for malnutrition in infants and heart disease cases resulted that they have almost equal accuracy of diagnosis. 4. CONCLUSION Based on the datasets used in this study, it can be concluded that CBR system with indexing LTKC for malnutrition in infants, heart disease, and thyroid disease has better accuracy of diagnosis and retrieval time than CBR system without indexing. The CBR system for malnutrition in infants with LTKC-indexing is capable of producing 100% accuracy of diagnosis and seconds average retrieval time on a threshold value of 0.9 using Euclidean distance similarity method. The CBR system for heart disease with LTKC-indexing is capable of producing 95% accuracy of diagnosis and seconds average retrieval time on a threshold value of 0.9 using Minkowski distance similarity method. The CBR system for thyroid disease with LTKC-indexing is capable of producing 92.52% accuracy of diagnosis and seconds average retrieval time on a threshold value of 0.9 using Minkowski distance similarity method. The test of CBR system accuracy with indexing LTKC, SOM, and DBSCAN for the diagnosis of malnutrition in infants and heart disease indicates that all three indexing methods produce almost equal accuracy of diagnosis. 5. SUGGESTION Further research needs to use a particular method to determine the optimal k value as the LTKC parameter without having to try all possible k values available to speed up the process of finding the best clustering result of the base case. It is also necessary to use additional validation methods of clustering results so that the value of the cluster validation more represent the diagnostic accuracy of the CBR system. Related to the dataset used, it is also necessary to use some kind of certainty factor of diagnosis that considers the number of features exists in a particular case so that the similarity value of diagnosis produced by CBR system also considers the level of confidence.
